Beautiful silver bridal basket. The Art Nouveau silver plate basket was produced by Homan and Company in 1907. It does have the maker's mark on the bottom with the patent date. The basket is footed and has a beautiful grape design that flows from the rim toward the bowl of the basket.
The handle also has grape leaves and grapes. The basket polishes beautifully, however the handle is darker. I can only determine that over the years, the handling of the handle has worn the silver and it does not polish as brightly.
The handle does stand upright, but does occasionally fall.
The bottom of the basket and bowl of the basket is beautifully polished and there does not appear to be any loss of silver.
It is a beautiful basket that would be a lovely accent in a powder room or on a chest.
